  • Check out the old gospel tune O Happy Day, it's clear He's So Fine was a rewrite of it. George pointed that out in his plagiarism case but the court didn't accept it. They were wrong though, He's So Fine was changed around a little more than My Sweet Lord was but it's still the same song. Did the "writers" of He's So Fine send royalties to the writers of O Happy Day? That's rhetorical of course, because the song is public domain, but then My Sweet Lord and He's So Fine should be PD also.

  • @skapunkteddybear Those allegations against Johnathon King were made a whopping 20 to 30 years after they happened when he was quite young himself in the 1970s and early 1980s. He never denied that they happened but stated that the young men he had sex with fully consented. He did not have sex with boys but with young men!

  • He probably decided to record this while he was fingering little boys' buttholes. Creepy old bastard.

  • @queenrosered  ha h ha! Oh Yes?Mr. Harrison paid $10 millions to R. Mack, and case closed.

  • It was a case of "subconscious" plagiarism and not outright plagiarism.George wrote plenty of great songs before AND after "My Sweet Lord" and it has been beaten to death. LET IT BE.

  • I know this is a cover. Why didnt he change it to she's so fine? Its coincidential that he's singing about boys since he has molested a few.

  • oh and at 2:44 should he expect a phone call from Jerry Butler's lawyers?

  • Doesn't really prove anything,  a competent musician/songwriter could make Enter Sandman sound like "I'm a Little Teapot"

  • same tune.

    February 1963 the "Please Please Me" reached number one on the UK singles charts. "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1963.

    The Beatles had already made it by the time "He's so fine" came out. They never played it in there early days because it didn't exist.

    I guess you are not above lying.
